[WARNNG: Article contains spoilers]Emmerdale bad boy Cameron Murray will kill again in a festive episode of the long-running soap following his grisly murder of Carl King during the show’s 40th anniversary live episode, which saw the mechanic hit his nemesis over the head with a brick.

It is unknown who his victim will be, but he will commit the act shortly after accidentally confessing to another character that he killed Carl.

He will then kidnap his victim, holding them hostage in a secret location before silencing them for good.

Cameron’s deadly deed comes after he sees girlfriend Chas go on trial for Carl’s murder, which Chas mistakenly believes she is responsible for as she had attacked Carl in self-defence prior to him being murdered by Cameron.
